Late 1960's Dallas Chaparrals Game Worn Warm Up Jacket.
Everything about the ABA had a sense of flair attached to it.
Whether it was the unmistakable Afros, signature slam dunks or
nightly fights, the renegade league gave its big brother a serious
level of competition. When the little league that could ran out of
steam, many of the squads were dissolved into the NBA. The Dallas
Chaparrals annually competed for league supremacy. Following their
final year in the ABA, the team was absorbed into the NBA and
became the San Antonio Spurs. Worn during the late 1960's is this
gorgeous Durene shooting jacket. While not identified to a single
player, it must have served a season's worth of use given the wear.
Staining marks are visible near the buttons on front. Situated over
the heart is a Chaparrals team emblem with the bird executed in
chenille threads which adds a dose of aesthetics. Red and blue
ribbed material accentuates the sleeve ends and tail. A lone
"[size] 44" tag is applied in the collar. "Chaparrals" is arched
across the reverse in two-inch two-tone tackle twill. Slight
staining on reverse. Styles and teams will come and go as
basketball teams continue to adopt new color schemes and team
insignias. But that Chaparral racing with a roundball is an
enduring image of the great ABA and all it had to offer the
sporting world. LOA from Heritage Auctions.
